Synopsis

When a group of hikers take off for a weekend of fun and adventure in remote mountain region, they unwittingly stumble across the Staunton family - for whom the hill is named - and find themselves at the mercy of a depraved, diabolical brood that will stop at nothing to rid their property of these "trespassers." The only law on Staunton's Hill is the law of the Stauntons...and, in this case, the penalty for defying that law is death.

dcmsn Romero's Nightmare is yours now have fun. Move is so boring that even when there is some gore it just makes you want to FF to the next random gore scene. It starts slow with the common young people telling stories and walking around then driving with folks then more stories and scenes of the woods and then trees and a farm then more slow speak and some violence. The fight stuff makes Pro wrestling looking real. The monster man child is a riot of bore and made fun of with lame joke lines that you hear in your local school yard.It's a 2 out of 10 if you like gore with no story and a long buildup and and an awful ending.If you want to see a good old fat farm boy who slices and clobbers punks then watch Carver who would make buddy his bitch.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1001333/combined
trashgang The apple and the tree, you know, most expressions are true. Bava and his son, Argento and his daughter and here we have in capital on the sleeve Romero. Of course we are talking of cult figure George A. Romero. But here the expression of the apple doesn't count. Yes, some parts are really well but it's only on the screen for maybe 10 minutes. Those parts are extremely gory and the red stuff flows copious but the rest of this flick is so dull. Not one actor or actress is convincing. It isn't really a slasher it's in the kind of hillbillies goes berserk. But they do it for only as mentioned maybe 10 minutes. There is to much blah blah and the director teases us with coming nudity but it never comes. Not that it is necessary but face it. If you show a girl go stripping in a shed then you expect that she shows her juggs. Or as one girl is stripped by the killer in her undies and he cut her knickers in shreds then you again expect to see it all, but no, he cuts away to another shot. When there is gore it is really greasy but I won't recommend it to gorehounds or slasher geeks. It's just one to see how you can make a bad movie.
dbborroughs Son of George Romero follows in his father weaker foot steps with the tale of some kids going to a rally in DC and ending up in the clutches of an evil family.While it's been done before, rarely has a story like this been this boring. Lots of set up and such before anything of interest happens. Actually what is interesting is trying to determine when the film takes place since it has things from a variety of times in it.I won't lie, my finger hit the fast forward to scan through chunks of it. Some of this is good, but much of it is well, dull.I'd take a pass.
James Bourke Whilst George A. Romero might forever be pigeonholed as a filmmaker of living dead movies, and perhaps quite rightly, as some of his best work has been centred around the zombie genre, I did have have a notion in thinking that his son, Cameron might just be a chip of the old block.Needless to say, such is not the case! Would it be folly to just place the blame soley at the hands of Romero Jr? Let's just say partly, as a lions share of the blame should also head straight in the direction of scriptwriter and bum actor David Rountree.Not content with taking on one of the roles within the movie, Mr Rountree somehow managed to persuade the producers and Cameron Romero to get involved in this ultra slow moving Southern Fried Mash up! Granted, having read the synopsis on the back of the DVD cover, I did reserve judgement, however such hoped were soon slapped in the face, as many other reviewers have quite rightly noted, that nothing of major note happens for the first forty-five minutes.And even in saying that when something does occur, it's all done in a very slow fashion, such was the lethargy for me, I had to reach for the fast forward button just to ward of the tedium. Of course I know I could've just turned it off and forgot all about it, but having watched many a horror movie both good and atrocious down through the years I wanted to persevere.The net result was ultimately, a lack of pacing, a god-awful script courtesy of you know you, and although some of the acting was okay, it was the actions in the script that left much to the imagination, and as for the direction, whilst Cameron Romero might have a decent visual eye, he has a long way to go before he emulates the achievements of his father.Keeping in mind the tag line, In God's Name They Prey! We should all pray that we never have to sit through another Texas Chainsaw themed rip off.
